So hunting in gusts to 30 mph in mid-Minnesota tomorrow morning. Anyone have any experience in high winds? Ducks will still hit the rice early or should I hunt the back bays in the bulrushes to get out of the wind?

I am thinking the ducks/geese might be flying nice and low into the rice still but its been a while since I've hunted a lake in the wind like that.

Sometimes i feel like it's so windy birds just kinda go where they are going and don't wanna go into or with the wind or with the wind if it's gonna mean more work just to check out decoys. Sometimes it seems like a good breeze keeps them a bit more restless tho as well.

I'm sitting on an grass island on the tip in this wat is suppose to be 14 mph wind but its got to be at least 20 I'm just hoping I mde corrext desion being the first one here. And being an inexperince boat driver its kinda hard to toss deks out by myself in the dark

Didn't hunt the lake I wanted to on Saturday due to the wind. The one boat that I knew got out was a 20' Alaskan and they were still breaking waves over the bow. Needless to say they shot a 3 man limit by 8 a.m.
